Beamr Optimizes High-quality Video on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Using NVIDIA Accelerated Computing at SIGGRAPH 2024
Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.
Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today announced that it will demonstrate with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) an optimized production of large, high-quality, high-resolution videos rendered from 3D design. The demonstration will be presented at SIGGRAPH 2024, the premier conference on computer graphics and interactive tech, being held in Denver, Colorado from July 28-August 1, 2024.
Videos are an efficient medium for sharing complex 3D design visualizations with team members, customers, and other stakeholders. However, capturing the full details of 3D models requires high-resolution videos. This is because 3D models often contain intricate details, textures, and geometries, and demand an accurate light and shadow representation. Lower resolutions may fail to capture these elements clearly. The result is massive video files, and delivering and viewing them poses a significant challenge.
The Beamr Cloud video optimization service supported by OCI may offer a fast, easy solution to such demanding tasks. The demonstration at SIGGRAPH showcases the optimization of a video from a 3D design, reducing an extremely large video file to one-fourth of its original size. The streamlined video is from an OpenUSD-based scene developed on NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform for developing and deploying 3D workflows, applications and services based on OpenUSD.
The demonstration of optimized video production from a 3D design will be presented at the Oracle booth at SIGGRAPH from July 30-August 1, 2024,
This optimization of high-quality, high-resolution videos from 3D designs is possible thanks to Beamr’s patented and award-winning content-adaptive-bitrate technology (CABR), enabling efficient optimization of video files without compromising their quality. Beamr Cloud high-performance video services, accelerated by NVIDIA L40S GPUs, are available for OCI customers in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace. They can easily connect their video libraries and automatically optimize videos at scale.

👉️ Beamr Boost for Machine Learning: Accelerating Neural Networks Training
March 20 2024 - 07:00AM
Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today announced that it has released the results of a case study which highlights how Beamr tech enables accelerated machine learning training by using significantly smaller video files and without any negative impact on the video artificial intelligence (AI) process.
Machine learning for video is becoming an increasingly significant technology for businesses. But the players in this expanding arena face critical pain points, like storage and bandwidth bottlenecks or the difficulty to reach acceptable training and inferencing speeds.
In this case study, Beamr’s R&D team showed that training an AI network using video files compressed and optimized through Beamr’s Content-Adaptive Bitrate technology produced results that are as good as training the network with the original, larger files. The AI network was trained to fulfill the task of action recognition, such as distinguishing between people who are walking, running, dancing or doing many other day-to-day actions.
Beamr CTO, Tamar Shoham, explained: “It was important to us to define a test case that really uses the fact that the content is video, instead of an image. When viewing individual frames, it is not possible to differentiate between frames captured during walking and running, or between someone jumping or dancing. Therefore, in order to classify videos according to the action they show, the temporal component is needed, which is why 'action recognition' was our task of choice”.
The video files used for machine learning training were optimized by Beamr Cloud, reducing file sizes by 24%-67%. Such a reduction is beneficial when storing video files for future use and possibly performing other manipulations on them. Recently-launched Beamr cloud is an optimization and modernization software-as-a-service (SaaS) that enables automated, efficient and fast video processing, through no-code processes or customized pipelines to meet specific user needs.
Training performed with the smaller video files optimized by Beamr tech, provided results which were equivalent to those obtained with the larger and non-optimized files (for more details about the experiment, see the full case study).
The case study is part of Beamr’s ongoing commitment to accelerate adoption and increase accessibility of machine learning for video and video analysis solutions. A previous case study focused on the AI network inference stage, which is the phase of drawing conclusions from an AI network that has already been trained. The previous experiment found that video files that were downsized by 40% on average streamlined machine learning processes. This allowed significant savings in storage and costs.
The current case study covers the more challenging task of training a neural network for action recognition in video. In coming months, the Beamr R&D team plans to expand the initial experiment described above to large scale testing, including neural networks that operate in the cloud using GPUs.

Beamr’s vision is to lower the barrier of entry to the highest level of video AI capabilities. Beamr plans to offer AI and machine learning players a variety of solutions that may enable them to overcome critical pain points, such as slow training and inferencing speed, large numbers of GPUs required to complete a task, data storage, networking bottlenecks and high associated costs.
Beamr plans to focus its research and development efforts on providing AI and generative AI players access to video AI workflows, tailored to their needs, through Beamr Cloud. Recently, Beamr released a technical paper showing that machine learning workflows benefit from the ability to create a compressed file that looks exactly the same as the original one. Video files that were downsized by 40% on average had streamlined machine learning processes and allowed significant savings in storage and overall costs without any negative effect on training and inference results.
Beamr’s video optimization tech - integrated with NVIDIA’s 8th-generation GPU encoder (NVENC), available on NVIDIA T4 Tensor Core and NVIDIA RTX GPUs, and NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core, L40 and L40S GPUs - aims to accelerate video AI workflows and enhance video pre-training, training and inference capabilities in AI pipelines. NVENC SDK 12.1 added an API that allows external control and enables users to tightly integrate hardware encoders for AVC and HEVC video formats. In addition, it supports AOMedia Video 1 (AV1), an efficient emerging video format.
